MASON Campton (pictured) will miss the start of Workington’s competitive season after sustaining an injury in a crash during practice at Leicester on Sunday.

The Australian has broken his wrist in four places and now faces a spell on the sidelines, just as the Comets are set to open their Championship campaign with a Shield fixture at Edinburgh on Friday.Club owner Laura Morgan said: “This is a cruel blow for Mason and for the team, and naturally Mason is devastated about it. “We have gone for a strength-in-depth approach to our team building this season and, as the highest averaged reserve in the league, Mason was set to be our trump card.“It will now be a case of sitting down and looking at our options as to where we go from here, but right now we are just so disappointed for him, for the club and for all our supporters.”
